The Commissioner appointed 70 represent the
State Of Wisconsin at the New Orleans Exposition
in 1884 has made his final report and out of the
appropriation made by the Legislature 10 defray
the ex penses OF the Wisconsin Exhibit he has re-
turned 10 the Treasury the sum Of &, ,043.73. The
law making this appropriation made no provision
for any compensation for the Commissioners, pro-
riding for expenses only and should it seem
proper to compensate him for his services, tbs
Legislature should make the necessary provision
therefor. The exhibit made by the State was a
most creditable one, and although made under
adverse circumstances, the fact that Wisconsin
secured the highest number Of awards. shows that
Mr.. Holton performed his duties with sagacity
and untiring efforts, and that he thoroughly ap
precased the the important interests OF the State.
